I hope you get more responses because we plan on doing the same thing.

I can share this experience with you. In our current home, part of the kitchen used to be an outdoor patio and there was quite a bit of difference in height. My husband wanted to continue the tile pattern from the family room through the new "great room" area and through the kitchen. He was told he would have to rent a large sander to even the room out, but he didnÂt want to go to that much trouble and mess. He used the leveling compound from Home Depot and it worked as hoped. Out new house isnÂt as bad as that so we plan to use it here before laying the engineered wood floors.

Again  hope to hear from others on this.

It can get frustrating. :-\

I talked to my husband about this and I think it will do exactly what you want. We will be doing this too.

Good luck!

Whatever leveler you get, first make sure whether or not you need to use a primer. Secondly, an inch is alot to build up in one coat. Check the leveler you buy to make sure you won't have to do it in a couple of coats. Other than that, I'd say you're on the right track.

Thanks Bill! :-)
